This is pretty trivial, but it would be nice to fix.
I tried to generate the pdf documents for gcc 4.3.1 on an x86 running fedora 9
without building gcc first. I ran configure with no options (in a separate
directory from the gcc source tree), then "make pdf". It generated a lot of
the pdf documents, but then quit in one of the subdirectories because
./gcc/xgcc didn't exist. Here's the tail end of the console output:
